The Record

STOCKTON - San Joaquin County law enforcement agencies are teaming with Les Schwab tire centers to discourage catalytic converter theft.

On Wednesday at certain Les Schwab Tire Centers, people can have their license plate numbers etched onto their car's catalytic converters, according to a news release from the Stockton Police Department.

The etching will allow easier recovery if the parts are stolen. They also provide a more effective path for prosecution of thieves. Not to mention they deter the theft in the first place.

Etching is free and should take about 15 minutes - plus any wait time.

It is available from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday at the following locations:

» 615 E. Lodi Ave, Lodi, (209) 334-3961

» 3554 E. Hammer Lane, Stockton, (209) 952-8473

» 1717 W. Charter Way, Stockton, (209) 465-4574

» 1240 W. Yosemite Ave., Manteca, (209) 824-9955

» 3260 W. Grant Line Road, Tracy, (209) 835-4029

» 750 N. Jack Tone Road, Ripon, (209) 599-4632

» 1980 McHenry Ave., Escalon, (209) 838-3536

STOCKTON - Emergency workers revived a man who collapsed in Family Court in downtown Stockton on Monday.

Court was in session when a man in his 50s collapsed, struck his head and stopped breathing, according to the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office. Sheriff's Office deputies started CPR until arriving medics used a defibrillator and were able to locate the man's pulse.

The unidentified man was taken to St. Joseph's Medical Center, where he was in critical but stable condition, according to the Sheriff's Office.

Family Court is held at 540 E. Main St., a few blocks from the main San Joaquin County Courthouse.
